Problem is that you don't just simply get bad losses out of your system
bad losses also show weaknesses and holes which the cubs are starting to show they have their share of.

Example
I hurt my elbow and can’t throw. I first decide to rest it for a few days, then I try to pitch again. It still hurts and I still can’t throw. THAT’S why I’m worried – rest hasn’t cured Marmol’s lack of pinpoint control of late.

He COULD Be Hurt
I seem to recall him having lots of long counts and throwing lots of pitches in Toronto and in the Atlanta series. He didn’t have his usual good control. And sometimes the cause is an injury.
Look, I’m not trying to be a pain in the butt with you. I’m only saying it’s worrying to see a guy lose it suddenly. There has to be a reason. Could be other things than an injury. The Zambrano thing has me very scared.

Perspective
I’m watching all the ledge jumpers and irrational posts, and I’m also disappointed in this series. Especially tonight. It seemed to be in hand at 3-1, second and third and Lee up. Lee had a poor at-bat. Marmol was as bas as I’ve ever seen a reliever. It sucks.
What makes it harder is that I could have used the distraction. My mother had a heart attack last night and is in the hospital. She seems to be doing ok, but we won’t know the extent of it until tomorrow. I am scared.
Go ahead and vent frustration. Be angry about the Cubs’ performance; I am, too. But instead of making personal attacks or insinuating that this is a bad team (it isn’t), try to remember that it ain’t real life.

See, that's it right there.
SUPPORT is not the same as BE HAPPY WITH. Supporting a team unconditionally = being a fan. Otherwise, what kind of fan are you? A bandwagoner.
Your ilk don’t seem to get the difference.

And your ilk don't seem to get
that some of us are here because we like to vent with other fans who are truly bothered when the Cubs play badly-there are way too many people on this site who jump down the throat of people who get frustrated when the Cubs don’t play up to expectations.
And I’d like to explain something-I’ve been a Cub fan for over thirty years-theu’re the only team I live and die with-if I was a bandwagon fan I woul’ve jumped ship a long time ago.

Then surely you know it's a 162 game season, and we're currently in June?

I think the only problem is
that you started posting tonight only after they started playing bad. I know your a regular but their was a bunch of names that seemed new and its easy to put you in the group. Some posters and post to complain and it gets annoying to only see the negative comments.

no one
is saying that.
So, what you’re doing right there? That’s a lie.

I think everyone Cub fan is excited about this year, I believe this is it. It is just frustrating when you see the team scrape out 3 runs then have a 7 spot dropped on them 4 seconds later. People are going to post something hasty and angry. nothing personal

well, angry
I get.
Insults, I don’t. Especially when the insult is that someone’s homosexual.

You're completely right about that
personal attacks, insults, etc.-not acceptable under any circumstances.

Well, folks, I'm out.
There’s going to be a troll overrun here in a few, and I just don’t have the patience. Tough loss, let’s Beat the White Sox tomorrow and get back some games!
